Yerba Mate has not been extensively studied. It is generally considered safe as a beverage for sporadic use. There are questions about its safety for very heavy use, but these concerns are not necessarily any larger than the concerns for coffee, a more commonly-consumed caffeinated beverage.
Yerba Mate has been traditionally used as a medicinal drink. Studies conducted in the United States and published in specialized media mention that mate, has been consumed for several years in South America for medicinal purposes, and they refer to mate tea, such as Taragüí Vitality. They don't take into account, however, the practice of sharing mate with a bombilla, a ritual that in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay has existed since ancient times.
One way yerba mate consumption can be harmful is if it is drunk in the traditional method, from a straw, and is drunk too hot...this can cause burns, which, over a very long period of time, can increase the risk of mouth and throat cancer. However, when you don't burn yourself, there is no evidence it increases cancer risk.
There has been some concern about possible liver damage, but this may be an isolated case or it may be due primarily to heavy alcohol use.
